| Course Description | This course acquaints students with the content and application of common law, equitable and statutory rules relating to enforceable agreements and puts those rules in their practical and social perspective. Although the course is not concerned with the various statutory modifications made with respect to specific classes of contract (eg employment, land, consumer finance etc), which are dealt with in other courses, an understanding of the basic conception of a contract is vital not just as a starting point for those statutory models but also for an understanding of everyday commercial agreements. The following topics will be covered: Creation and content of a contract (formation, privity, agency, terms); statutory remedies for misleading and deceptive conduct in trade and commerce; misrepresentation; unconscionable dealing; improper pressure; performance and discharge of obligations (performance, breach, frustration, variation and discharge by agreement); and remedies (enforcement, compensation, restitution). |
